Notable quotes
“Just as cybercriminals operate globally, cybersecurity innovation knows no borders – the opportunities are boundless. This expansion marks the next logical step in Forgepoint's evolution as the leading venture capital platform investing in cybersecurity and infrastructure software.”
“We target companies with great teams building innovative solutions that are poised for high growth. While the Crowdstrike IPO certainly boosted attention on the market, over 90% of successful cybersecurity exits are through M&A. Strategic buyers and financial sponsors pay up for companies that can scale.”
“Forgepoint entrepreneurs are collectively building a more secure digital future. Ours is a mission that matters, and we draw energy from inspiring teams building elegant products that solve previously intractable challenges.”
